You can if the next available times are already after 2pm. Previously, it would default you to 2pm, even if the actual availabile times were still before 2pm. Now, all the time slots before 2pm need to have been booked up before you can start booking for when you hop.

I was worried about that, but as someone said above, it’s actually no different. Some rides, such as Frozen, Remy etc will move quickly to that time anyway. And others under the ‘old’ system, would take ages to get to a 5pm time - particularly I’ve noticed at MK.

I think those wanting to stack for a 2pm arrival at say MK might struggle a bit if they want lots of rides in that early afternoon period. But I think in the most part the rest of us will be unaffected by these changes.

Oh that’s good then. Tower of terror times moved quickly too. Thank you for clearing that up 😊

Bumping this thread to say Molly (formerly All Ears) tested out the new rules today on her instagram and will be putting a new video up on her new Mammoth Club YouTube channel in the next couple of weeks.

No, not really.

When stacking for the second park you'll want return times that are after 2pm because you won't be able to enter the second park until after 2pm anyway. If the return time of the ride in the second park is after 2pm then you'll be fine and it'll work just as before and you can stack.

For example, it's 10am and you are in your first park of the day but you plan to park hop to a second park later. You go on Genie+ looking for rides in your second park. Some rides aren't available to book but you do find a ride you like in the second park with a return time of 3pm. You book it. At 12pm, you look on Genie+ again for rides in the second park. There's another ride you like with a return time of 4pm. You can book that. At 2pm, as you are hopping over to the second park, you look on Genie+ again. There's a ride with a return time of 5pm. You book that. You will then have 3 rides stacked at the second park with return times starting at 3pm, 4pm, and 5pm.
